Diane Wolk

My name is Diane. I currently live in Apex, North Carolina.  I grew up in Wilmington, NC so beach life is what I am accustomed to and love!  I attended college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I graduated with a BA in Economics.  Go Tarheels!

I started out my professional career as an IT recruiter.  I worked until I got married and my first son was one years old.  I became a stay-at-home to four kids.  During that time, I helped run a family business that restored custom cars.  

I've always been active.  I played softball growing up and then got into running as a way to stay healthy.  I've run two full marathons and several half-marathons, 10Ks and 5Ks.

My days of running were no longer as enjoyable and there was so much less time to do it due to my kids. I joined a bootcamp in 2015 which I loved.  I had done some strength training at the gym in my early 20s but nothing like this.  This instructor became an inspiration and mentor to me.  I loved the feeling of getting stronger and seeing the changes in my body through strength training.  She pushed us and made it fun and challenging.  She casually mentioned to me one day that I should get certified because she thought I'd be great at teaching group fitness classes.  So, I decided...why not?  I'm so glad I did!  I now get to motivate others into leading a healthier lifestyle by getting their bodies moving and stronger.
